can a VirtualBox VM run on different hardware?

can a VirtualBox VM run on different hardware? I have created a VM using VirtualBox on 'A' hardware configuration. Can I expect correct working of this VM if I copy the VM hard drive image and use it on a different hardware configuration 'B'?

Yup. It'll be fine. Regardless of where installed, virtualbox will always present the same virtual devices.

The guest HD image (vdi) will certainly work straight off. The VM config XML file doesn't necessary transfer cleanly between hosts running different OSes, but then it's pretty trivial to create a new virtual machine using the old vdi in that case.
